I wanna work for Christies...

Post by Expat » Tue Oct 14, 2014 12:11 pm

I mean sure the access to amazing watches and modern art would be cool, but the ability to make projections like the one for the Patek featured on Hodinkee's IG feed would be amazing.

The Patek ref.1563 split second is expected to fetch...$840k to $1.6M.

I could see trying to give my CEO that kind of projection.
"30ish years of martial arts and I've actually had the honor of training lots of LEO, spec ops and even SEAL team 6 on base, fitness training, not martial arts, but still the coolest thing I've done.

Full on egg head corporate job and I fly quite a bit so I'm really looking forward to adding to my collection of TSA friendly self defense tools. I have amcouple tactical pens, but I want to up the game and get into some custom stuff. Been watch obsessed for a while but this seems more fun.

Thanks for letting me play! "

And they almost never sell for the estimate - it's often as much as 50% more than the high.

That's called 'marketing' too...
